. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. December 3, 1914. The Florists' Review 't 21. PLANS FOE NEXT YEAR. Care of Stock Plants. Thanksgiving has practically cleaned up. the chrysanthemums. There are all kinds of ways for wintering stock. Where the climate is not too severe it can be planted in coldf rames, held prac- tically dormant for several months, and when opened in early spring, the plants will soon give a grand crop of strong cuttings, better than are to be had in any other way. The best method for the average commercial grower, who may need to start propagating early to increase his stock of special varieties, is to plant in benches in a cold house; a violet temperature of 40 degrees at night will answer admirably. Place large labels on each sort, so that there will be no danger of their becoming mixed. While it is much too early to propa- gate for next season's crop, those who , may have a limited stock of any new or specially desirable kinds would do well to start taking cuttings now. This will permit of a large batch being se- cured before late spring. While the large blooms do 6ot Seem to find purchasers as they did a few years ago, more moderate sized flowers being generally preferred, they have not lost favor altogether and still at- tract a lot of attention in the exhibi- tions. The pompons, anemones and sin- gles have all advanced in favor and every grower, especially such as cater to retail trade, should plant good batches of them. In design work of all kinds, for late decorations or as pot plants they are excellent, and many prefer them to the large blooms. The Standard Varieties. Few new varieties appear and stand up as commercial sorts. This is spe- cially true S( the large exhibition sorts. The most largely grown and popular chrysanthemum still is the old reliable Bonnaffon. Growers are nearly unani- mous in stating that there is still more money in this than any other. Other favorite yellows are Golden Glow, the leading early; Chrysolora
